| Ending Down Syndrome‐The Nazi Way? |
| 2017-08-18 |
| [Townhall] About a year and a half ago I was at an all-day event with friends that consisted of a lot of sitting around in lawn chairs, chatting, and eating too much food. Since we were a group of my friends and their social acquaintances, it’s not surprising that eventually the conversation came around to a potentially divisive topic. Someone brought up his recent trip to Northern Europe and how he thought it was (I’m paraphrasing) "so amazing that you never saw anyone there with a disability. They must be doing something right!" This of course started a discussion on how Europeans haven’t somehow magically ended the occurrence of disabilities in the next generation, they’ve ended their births. They’re aborting them. "Terminating their pregnancies," as they like to call it. And they’re doing it because a test showed that those children weren’t quite "perfect." (A test that can be wrong, by the way.) More simply put, they’re murdering their children. Now, I know many people disagree that abortion is murder. I know, I know, the laws of those countries don’t call it murder. But the Bible calls intentionally killing a human being in any circumstance other than self-defense, capital punishment, and just warfare murder. And I’ll take the Bible’s authority over that of any nation’s laws. After all, German law made killing Jews in concentration camps legal during Nazi rule. And as someone participating in this discussion pointed out, those Europeans who are aborting all those Down syndrome babies "are completing the work of the Nazis." How true. |

| #3 Didn't keep my Sicilian father-in-law from being stationed in Iceland. And he wasn't exactly Nordic if you know what I mean. |

| #2 I don't go along with the abortion as birth control or a fix for Down Syndrome, but it's their country, their decision, NOT mine. As for restricting certain personnel to the U.S. Air Base, (a policy that was strictly enforced), again their decision. Appears they've somehow avoided some of the problems of Europe and the U.S. A true Babylonian marvel. How novel. |

| #1 The Icesies are pretty close to 'you know who' when it comes to some of these issues. Like a little unsaid agreement that American forces stationed in Iceland wouldn't include people of a certain race as well. Pretty much a closed shop operation. |
